Read all unread emails received since yesterday 6pm. Sort them into: (1) Needs my reply today, (2) FYI / read later, (3) Newsletters and promotions, (4) Probably spam. For group 1, give the sender, one-line summary, and a suggested 2-3 sentence reply draft. Do not send anything.

Replace anything in <ANGLE BRACKETS> with your own details. Review outputs before letting an agent send, buy or delete anything.

How to run this

Works with any agent

Steps

  1. Copy the prompt and fill in the parts in angle brackets.
  2. Paste it into whatever agent you already use: a chat assistant, a coding agent, an automation tool, or a script that calls any model API.
  3. Schedule it (every weekday at 8 am). Use the agent's own scheduler if it has one, otherwise run it from cron with the expression below.
  4. Give it only the access it needs (inbox, calendar, repo, sheet) and keep sends, purchases and deletes behind your approval.
  5. Review the first two runs, tweak the prompt, then let it run.
